Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Atasokanan-the stories
LHOV-03-019
Dominique Rankin, Algonquin hereditary chief and co-founder of the Kina8at organization, is the custodian of a significant archival collection, including audiovisual material, 150 audiocassettes and 40 video cassettes entirely in Anicinape. These recordings document meetings and interviews with different Elders and cultural transmitters of the Algonquin Nation of Quebec and Ontario. The collection also features approximately 2 500 photographs (prints and negatives), 700 slides, and at least 2 300 linear metres of textual documents, chronicling decades of community, cultural, and museum activities from the past half-century.
This project will digitize and describe audiovisual materials and some of the photographic and textual materials. The focus will be to prioritize the most vulnerable resources with the support of Elders who can describe them and associate them with the activities that they document, which will create opportunities for intergenerational dialogue.
